SUMMARY:KQ Virtual Private View: Extraordinary Stories from the Petrie Museum
DESCRIPTION:Sign up via Eventbrite here \nExtraordinary Stories from the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology \nThis Virtual Private View\, brought to you by the UCL Petrie Museum\, will launch the Museum’s brand new entrance gallery and tell the story of the cast of characters who were influential in creating the museum including: \nAmelia Edwards\, Victorian writer and journalist who donated her collections and library along with funding to establish the first Chair in Egyptology in the UK\, choosing UCL because it was the only university at the time to offer degrees to women.  \nAli Suefi\, the head-overseer of many teams of Egyptian ‘Quftis’ working to excavate Egyptian archaeological sites for Western researchers. \nViolette LaFleur\, UCL conservation student and volunteer\, who almost single-handedly saved the collection from the World War Two bombs that destroyed her own home. \nAnd of course\, William Matthew Flinders Petrie; pioneer archaeologist and ‘father of pots’\, with a complex legacy of eugenics research. \nJoin the curator\, Dr Anna Garnett\, and head of collection\, Catriona Wilson\, in this behind-the-scenes look at the Museum and the untold stories behind its formation\, as well an exclusive preview of the hidden love story behind a newly acquired Pre-Raphaelite pencil sketch on display for the first time. \nAbout the Petrie Museum: \nFree to visit\, the Petrie Museum is home to one of the most significant collections of Egyptian and Sudanese archaeology in the world. This extraordinary collection tells the stories of the lives of ordinary people who lived along the Nile Valley thousands of years ago. Inside you’ll find papyrus and stone fragments inscribed with hieroglyphs; musical instruments and children’s toys; thousands of beads and amulets; ancient mummy cases and the treasures buried with them for the afterlife; and the oldest woven garment in the world: the Tarkhan Dress. \nIt is named after William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942)\, appointed in 1892 as first UCL Edwards Professor of Egyptian Archaeology and Philology. Over three-quarters of the material comes from excavations directed or funded by Petrie\, or from purchases he made for university teaching. \nThe new entrance gallery was funded by the DCMS Wolfson Museums and Galleries Improvement Fund. \n  \nOur Virtual Events:  \nOur virtual events are becoming increasingly popular and often completely sell out. To ensure you are able to join the event\, please ‘arrive’ (via the link sent through Eventbrite ) around 5 minutes before the start. This will ensure you are able to be let into the Zoom room before we reach full capacity. \nOnce you have signed up via Eventbrite you will receive a Zoom link by email 48 hrs before\, 2 hrs before and 10 minutes before the event\, please check your JUNK folder for these emails as they are sent directly through Eventbrite’s system. \nYou do not need to download Zoom software in order to participate – there is a web browser version which works perfectly well. \nIf you have any questions please get in touch with the KQ events team: Bhav or Jemima. \nCan’t attend but want to receive invitations to future private virtual views?

SUMMARY:The Second Pandemic: Misinformation and Perception
DESCRIPTION:Tickets for this event are available through via Eventbrite here. \nWhat happens to our perception of truth during a pandemic? What happens in our brains that makes us more susceptible to believing and spreading false information in times of crisis? Mixing storytelling and science\, Christopher Bailey\, Arts and Health Lead at the World Health Organization\, will draw on real life examples\, taken from pandemics and wars\, to explore how rumours and false narratives proliferate in a crisis. In telling these stories\, Bailey\, an actor and playwright from New York\, strips away the layers of our psychology to reveal what makes us fearful\, impressionable and fundamentally human. \nMisinformation and fake news is also linked to the rise of “fake medicines” claiming to cure COVID-19. Christopher Bailey’s performance will be followed by a panel discussion including Founder of UCL Fight the Fakes\, Oksana Pyzik\, and Professor Robert Horne of UCL School of Pharmacy to further explore this growing global health threat and its’ psychological underpinnings. The panel will be moderated by Bhavit Mehta of the Knowledge Quarter and will feature a guest appearance from the WHO’s Special Envoy for COVID-19 David Nabarro.  \n“When facing the unknown we often tell a story to help make sense of what we are experiencing\, even\, and sometime especially\, if few facts are available.” ~ Christopher Bailey \nThe WHO’s Arts and Health program explores the evidence base for the health benefits of the arts\, and the practical implementation of arts-based approaches to improve health at the local level. \nJoin this moving\, entertaining and informative event brought to you by the Knowledge Quarter\, in partnership with UCL School of Pharmacy and the World Health Organization. \nOur Virtual Events:  \nOur virtual events are becoming increasingly popular and often completely sell out. To ensure you are able to join the event\, please ‘arrive’ (via the link sent through Eventbrite ) around 5 minutes before the start.

As the oldest School\, founded by the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain in 1842\, it has over 175 years of experience and tradition throughout which it has retained its identity as a specialist institution dedicated to teaching and research in pharmacy and the pharmaceutical sciences. \nCan’t attend but want to receive invitations to future private virtual views?

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - KQ Conference Legacy Event: Debunking the Myth of Decolonisation
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed due to ongoing concerns with COVID-19. New date to be announced in the future. \nThere is nothing new in the seemingly recent calls for the repatriation and restitution of museum objects to former colonial countries. Whilst inaction may seem like the norm\, museums\, heritage organisations and governments are opening up the conversation around co-curation and decolonising the collections they hold. \nThis event will help to demystify the questions we have around colonial objects and artefacts such as: Where do we start with decolonising our collections? Is sending stuff back really the answer? How can decolonising rewrite the damaging narratives that have been told\, whilst owning up to the mistakes of the past? How do you make a history not Colonial? Should we continue to hold on to objects (and hence their narrative) in the 21st century? Who\, ultimately\, should be making the decisions when dealing with problematic collections? \nFollowing on from our 2019 conference\, this event will provide a forum in which people from across the KQ\, who are working on or interested in learning more about museum and gallery collections\, can learn and discuss more about the challenges and opportunities of a decolonising them. Drawing from the wealth of expertise in our membership\, we will attempt to understand what decolonisation means and how we might engage and enact upon the concept. \nWho should attend?\nYou must work for a Knowledge Quarter partner organisation. If you do not work for a Knowledge Quarter partner\, but would like the opportunity to share your experience and knowledge in this field with our group\, please register your interest via email with Jemima Barnes: jemima.barnes@bl.uk

SUMMARY:KQ Private View: Displays of Power
DESCRIPTION:Knowledge Quarter staff and friends are welcome to join our private breakfast view of Displays of Power at UCL’s Grant Museum of Zoology. Enjoy privileged out-of-hours access to the exhibition in the company of lovely\, like-minded individuals living and working in the Knowledge Quarter. \nOnce you’ve seen how Empire shaped the Grant Museum collection\, you’ll never look at natural history museums in the same way again. \nWhen the practice of collecting animals for science was at its height\, so was the British Empire. This exhibition connects the specimens in the Grant Museum to a wider history of science and Empire\, by asking one simple question: “How did all these things come to be here in the first place?” \n  \nBook your tickets here
